The formation of indium-donor pairs (donors: P, As, Sb) in silicon is identified by perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy. After the electron capture decay of the 111 In probe atoms to 111 Cd, the electric field gradient (EFG) is measured at the corresponding cadmium-donor pairs. For all three complexes a similar temperature dependence of the EFG is observed which can be explained quantitatively by a model based on the charge state of the cadmium-donor acceptors. The corresponding energy levels are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
